Autumn in the North

Posted by Mark Toler on 10/20/2020

The Midwest and the Canadian Prairies are the best places to see those fall colors. The trees are changing colors, temperatures are dropping, and winter is right around the corner. The city of Winnipeg is only a short 400 miles from the Twin Cities. We're teaming up with our friends at Winnipeg to host a CYWG/KMSP crossfire. Come fly between KMSP and CYWG to enjoy the fall colors and temperatures before de-icing becomes the norm!

Come join VATUSA and VATCAN via Seattle ARTCC and Vancouver FIR in a crossfire!
